Patent number: 8978946Abstract: A roof bar (10) for a motor vehicle (1) has an elongate load carrying member (213) and a single elongate stay (214) which are hingedly connected to a roof (5) of the motor vehicle (1) by a pair of base plates (211). The elongate load carrying member (213) is selectively held in a deployed position by a latch mechanism (222, 255) which latches a castellated edge of the elongate load carrying member (213) to a castellated edge of the single elongate stay (214) along a significant portion of the interface between the two components (213, 214) so as to provide a strong support for any loads carried by the roof bar (10). The components (211, 213, 214) forming the roof bar (10) are all relatively thin and the elongate load carrying member (213) and the single elongate stay (214) are arranged to fold flat on the roof (5) of the motor vehicle (1) so as to minimize any change in vehicle height when the roof bar (10) is stowed.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Ford Global TechnologiesInventors: Torsten Gerhardt, John K.

Patent number: 8100306Abstract: A roof bar (10) for a motor vehicle (1) includes an elongate load carrying member (13) selectively held in a deployed position by a latch mechanism (20). A crossbar portion (15) of the elongate load carrying member (13) is wider than it is thick and is orientated such that the width of the crossbar portion (15) is vertically arranged when the roof bar (10) is in the deployed position so as to increase the resistance to vertical bending of the crossbar portion (15).Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Ford Global TechnologiesInventors: Torsten Gerhardt, John K.

Publication number: 20100230451Abstract: A roof bar (10) for a motor vehicle (1) is disclosed in which an elongate load carrying member (313) is selectively held in a deployed position by a latch mechanism (320). The latch mechanism (320) interacts directly with the elongate load carrying member (313) and no separate stay is required to hold the elongate load carrying member (313) in the deployed position. The components (311, 315, 316) forming the roof bar (10) are all relatively thin when the roof bar (10) is in the stowed state, so as to minimize any change in vehicle height.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Torsten Gerhardt, John K.

Patent number: 7442875Abstract: The invention provides a protective sheath for receiving elongated items. The protective sheath includes first and second elongated substrates connected to one another about at least one living hinge. The first and second elongated substrates are moveable relative to one another between an open configuration wherein the first and second substrates are positioned substantially side by side adjacent to one another and a closed configuration wherein the first and second substrates at least partially overlying one another. The protective sheath also includes a first flap attached to the first substrate along an edge. The first flap is resiliently biased into a position overlying the first substrate and operable to engage the second substrate when the first and second substrates are in the closed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Federal-Mogul World Wide, Inc.Inventors: John Emerson Burdy, Danny Edward Winters
